Once on board we wandered around the maze of narrow corridors on deck ten searching among five hundred and forty-six identical looking cabins until we finally found our inner berth shoebox and after we had negotiated sleeping arrangements in a fair and democratic way I bagged the bottom bunk and let Jonathan practice using the flimsy aluminium ladder to get on top.
One of the rules of the crossing is that passengers cannot take alcohol on board the boat – not because P&O have anything against alcohol it is just that they would rather prefer it if you buy it on board at one of their bars rather than from a supermarket in Hull so without any smuggled on beer or wine there wasn’t a great deal to hang around for in the cabin so we made our way to the Sky lounge and the Sunset bar at the very top of the ship to see the sunset that was dipping down over the River Humber to the west.

Have Bag, Will Travel 
I thought the ticket was going to be the start of your career as a secret agent. “Go to cabin W3467 and open it with this key. Inside the beautiful Monica will give you your tickets to St Petersburg….” I’ll leave you to write the rest.

Apparently, the beautiful Monica also detoured any thoughts you might of had about a drink. Of course any spy worth his salt would have smuggled on some booze… and visited the bar! 🙂 –Curt
